Porth y Wylfa

You'll find this windswept headland just outside Cemaes Bay, where the cliffs drop away sharply and the Irish Sea spreads out in front of you like something from a Turner painting. Porth y Wylfa is essentially a dramatic stretch of rocky coastline - nothing fancy, no visitor centre or ice cream van, just raw Anglesey coastline doing what it does best.

The walk down takes about twenty minutes from the road, and it's worth every step if you're after proper seascapes. The rocks themselves are interesting - weathered and jagged, good for scrambling about on if you're that way inclined. The whole thing works brilliantly for photographers chasing light, or walkers who want a decent clifftop stretch without the crowds you'd get at somewhere like Penmon. Kids will get a kick out of exploring the rock pools when the tide's right, though you'll need to time it carefully and keep an eye on the sea - it's not gentle here.

The real draw is the isolation. You won't find hordes of tourists elbowing each other for the best Instagram spot. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think, watch birds wheeling overhead, and remember why you came to Anglesey in the first place. If you're staying at Dolydd campsite - which is practically on the doorstep - this is an absolute no-brainer for an afternoon wander. Even from the further parks like Mount View or Pengraig, it's worth the drive.
